Single pre-insulated pipe ECOFLEX Thermo VIP Single 40x3.7/140, 6 bar, temp. 80°C, for central heating and chilled water installations, thermal insulation made of reinforced PE-X foam (with low lambda value), corrugated HDPE outer jacket. 1095714

Pre-insulated pipes for efficient heating and cooling installations

Uponor Ecoflex Thermo VIP Single pre-insulated pipe is a component dedicated to building efficient and durable heat and cool distribution systems. Used in central heating and cooling installations, it combines insulating properties, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The use of PE-X foam with a low lambda value minimizes energy losses, which translates into operational savings. The corrugated outer jacket made of HDPE provides mechanical protection and facilitates installation.

Construction and properties

The pipe consists of several key elements that ensure its high quality and reliability:

• Inner pipe: Made of cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xa) with a diameter of 40 mm and a wall thickness of 3.7 mm, guarantees resistance to pressure and temperature (up to 80°C, briefly up to 95°C). This material is resistant to corrosion and stress cracking.
• Insulation: Revolutionary PE-X foam with closed cells is characterized by an exceptionally low thermal conductivity coefficient (lambda), which significantly reduces energy losses during medium transport.
• Protective pipe: Durable polyethylene (HDPE) in black color, with a corrugated surface facilitating installation and protecting against mechanical damage. The outer diameter of the protective pipe is 140 mm.
• Sleeve: An integral sleeve facilitates pipe connection, ensuring a tight and safe installation.

Applications and benefits

The Uponor Ecoflex Thermo VIP Single pipe is primarily used in:

• Transport of heating and cooling water in underground networks.
• Central heating installations in residential and commercial buildings.
• Cooling systems requiring effective thermal insulation.
• Connection of heat pumps, underfloor heating and other heating devices.

Benefits for the installer:

• The flexibility of the pipe facilitates installation, especially in difficult terrain conditions.
• The possibility of ordering pipes in specific lengths minimizes waste and simplifies installation.
• A wide range of fittings and accessories allows for the implementation of diverse projects.
• Compliance with PN-EN 15632 and EN 17414 standards guarantees the safety and reliability of the system.

Benefits for the end user:

• Low heat losses translate into lower heating bills.
• The durability of the materials ensures a long service life of the installation without the need for frequent repairs.
• Corrosion resistance eliminates the risk of leaks and damage caused by external factors.
• Quiet system operation ensures comfortable use.
